1. Loving the photos. A fun night.

   Thanks for the pressie on Saturday guys, it’s really lovely.

   Hopefully will get up at some stage over the Christmas.

   Merry Christmas.

2. Good fun on Saturday night. The Village is a complete blank but I recovered for Eddie Rockets on the way home.

   Just watched the world records that were set in the mens weightlifting

3. Anyone else want an evening class on the 30th?

4. Who thought Fran was a good idea?? Seriously.

5. I’ll vote for an evening class as well for the 30th

6. Tom
   Fran is the best christmas gift a guy could ask for

7. The post alcohol doom and gloom had enveloped me before Fran, now after Fran the world seems a little worse, i seriously don’t like this feeling, seriously – FML

8. What was your time Tony?

9. Hahahahahaha hate to be doing Fran today. If it’s any consolation, yesterday’s total training volume for me was;

   Squats – 12,773kg
   Bench – 9,118kg

   and *ahem*

   Curls – 3,400kg

   Now, the real reason for me posting – does anyone have any good double under tips or tutorials for me?? I figure with the invitational coming up it’s the one movement that REALLY holds me back so it’s time to learn it.

10. I’d be on for an evening class on 30th too.

    ^^ double unders. There’s another vid or two there as well. Keep your elbows tucked in close and whip at the wrists. Using longer rope than you think helps me too. I grip the end of the handles.

    Does anybody know any good palaeo receipe sites..Pixie maybe? I’m off for three weeks over christmas so I have time to learn how to cook a few dishes. I’m going to have to eat alot of meat & veg to keep size/strenght while dropping the extra Eamonn.

12. Poor Tony is in need of a lot of hugs. The Doom has severely affected him.

    Special K – you’re in enough trouble as it is, with your dodging of the Saturday Metcon, the Saturday Drinking Session, and the 12 o’clock session today. Tony is not impressed.

    Has anyone a time preference for the evening class? Or will we say 6o’clock?

13. Shocking News Guinness Brewery Jame’s gate is on fire i hope my Guinness is ok . Also happy Christmas to you all if i don’t get don’t before Wednesday.

14. I found this website/blog quite good for recipes Eamonn: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-meatballs/ the meatballs were amaaaazing and the recipe made tons, enough for about 4 people and they freeze well too.

15. I found this website has quite alot of recipes: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-meatballs/ these meatballs were particularly amaaazing and the recipe made tons, enough for about 4 people. You do need to get proper posh sausages though from the likes of Fallon & Byrne.

16. Eamonn this should have a few. Am Sure the food Nazi will on soon with some better ones as well. http://www.thepaleodiet.com/nutritional_tools/recipes.shtml#Low%20Fat%20Meat

17. Thanks Paddy I’ll check that out.

    btw Hanley how the hell did you do that much volume? Those numbers are insane.

18. 6 o’clock, but I’m going to ask for that day off work tomorrow so if they let me I wont be there for the class after all. I’ll let ye know tomorrow asap.

19. Why didn’t any of you help that poor special needs kid in the middle with his sweatshirt?

20. 5 or 6 which ever is handy.
